> > 2. Because chaotic testimony doesn't matter for an Arbiter. Why? Does this make any sense? We've already demonstrated how Lawful Imperials can just as legitimately attack in town as anyone, and are more prone to lie about attacks than anyone else, so we have to wonder, is there really a legitimate dividing line between ethos? I don't think so.

> Arbiters=order, chaotics=chaos (anti-order)....would *you* as a person who strove towards law and order trust the testimony from someone who has lived thier life going against order and law. If you were a rager would you trust a mage? If you were a paladin would you trust an anti-paladin? Of course not, they're the bane of your existance...and diametrically opposed to you. While others may lie to you, a chaotic is more than likely almost garunteed to give you some form of misinformation...so why bother with them at all?

but, chaotic standing there minding his own business gets attacked infront of a guard by a lawful person.
chaotic person is not wanted, lawful person is not an arbiter. Why does the guard attack the chaotic?
Ive played alot of chaotic chars, and found it really annoying especially since there seem to be alot of people who play
lawful chars so they can abuse this "feature".
Also as far as I know, the guards dont cast or commune to find out what ethos a person is before they whack on him.

my 2cents
